Working my way through this archive after it was posted on a FB page. It's only available for a limited period (until 31st August 2023).
There are 26 episodes of 25 minutes duration covering a year starting with 1950
I haven't found a way to download them yet, if you find a way please let me know how?

I see google suggests they are on YouTube as well, just search for >>> The Racing Years 19_ _ <<<
putting in the year you want (from 1950 to 1975) However, I checked one year and the content of one year had been edited shorter for some reason. There may be other versions available via other video platforms.

That's odd as I just checked Youtube and there're several there, of about 25 minute duration each.
I fast forwarded through 3 or 4 and they hadn't been shortened.
Didn't check them all though.

Films.JPG and
The original source I posted had all those years. If you google the exact year you may find other sources.
If you use a VPN and choose a UK server you will be able to watch them.
That's the way I used to watch UK sport when in Florida
